My big problem with all of the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Directs is how mechanic focused they are. There's no point in overviewing these because it's just disconnected information about the game that will fly right through people who don't know anything about the game. It'd be much more fun to focus almost completely on the world the game takes place in, and the adventure players should expect to be taking.

Save mechanics for gameplay demos, like the Zelda treehouse thing. Show it in the context of the adventure described in the Direct.

Overall, this direct presentation was better than past ones, but could have used some tweaking.

The flaw in that is the main draw of the series is exploring by focusing on the world and adventure in NDs you spoil that.

If the main draw of the series is exploration, then the marketing should certainly reflect that as it will make the game sound more interesting by marketing to its strengths and the things that will make people actually interested in the game.
